University of Nevada Wolf Pack Partners with SJTA for
Lemelson Elementary
Students and teachers from Lemelson Elementary were treated to a fun morning of tennis and lunch thanks to the partnership between the SJTA and the UNR Men's and Women's Tennis Teams! Many 4th graders found a new sport and now the school plans to set up a mini-tennis area at recess so the kids can continue to play!
SJTA is a proud partner of the Nevada Wolf Pack Tennis Teams! Cheer on the teams each season at the McArthur Tennis Center located off Valley Road on Dolly Drive adjacent to the Hixson Softball Park.
Support our local Wolf Pack!
